Roast cauliflower and blue cheese salad

This warm winter salad uses healthy cauliflower, spinach and walnuts with a little crumbled blue cheese to give it some pep. If you’re not usually a fan of cauliflower but haven’t yet tried it roasted give it a go – it brings out a nice nutty flavour and has a firmer texture than boiled or steamed.
